The Kestrel Handheld Weather Meter measures
wind and temperature with total accuracy, and has the added benefits of
an air pressure sensor that provides altitude and barometric
information. Kestrel technology enables you to follow changes in air
pressure that help predict impending changes in the weather.
There are some model that have the Olive Drab NV version which
features a night-vision preserving backlight. This backlight
incorporates an optical filter to reduce overall brightness and minimize
blue and green spectrum light to preserve night vision. (Note: This
backlight appears soft greyish pink, not "red", and is still in the
visible spectrum, so is not compatible with night-vision equipment.)
